2 Thessalonians 1
1 [I], Paul, [am writing this letter]. Silas and Timothy [are with me. We are sending this letter] to [you]. You are the congregation [of God’s people] in Thessalonica [city]. You belong to God our Father, and you belong to Jesus Christ our Lord.
Pablo y Silvano y Timoteo, a la Iglesia de los tesalonicenses en Dios nuestro Padre y en el Señor Jesucristo;
2 [We pray that] God our Father, and Jesus Christ our Lord, [will continue to] act kindly toward you and [will continue to cause you to have inner] peace.
gracia a vosotros y paz de Dios Padre y del Señor Jesucristo.
3 [Our] fellow believers, we thank God very frequently [HYP] for you because we believers ought [to thank God for each other, and] specifically it is appropriate/right [that we should thank God for you. We thank him] that you are trusting in [the Lord Jesus] more and more, and that each one of you is loving [each of] the others more and more.
Hermanos, siempre hemos de dar gracias a Dios por vosotros, como es justo, por cuanto crece sobremanera vuestra fe, y abunda la mutua caridad de cada uno de todos vosotros,
4 As a result, we keep proudly telling about you to [other] congregations who [worship] God. [Specifically, we tell them] that you are being steadfast and that you [continue] believing [in the Lord Jesus], even though you are frequently suffering [DOU] as a result of people causing you trouble.
de tal manera que nosotros mismos nos gloriamos de vosotros en las Iglesias de Dios, con motivo de vuestra constancia y fe en medio de todas vuestras persecuciones y de las tribulaciones que sufrís.
5 [Your being steadfast] (shows/indicates to) [us] clearly that God will judge [all people] justly. [Specifically, he] will publicly declare that you are worthy [as his people to be in] that place where he will rule [forever, because] you also are suffering as a result of [telling others about letting] God rule your lives.
Esta es una señal del justo juicio de Dios, para que seáis hechos dignos del reino de Dios por el cual padecéis;
6 [God will certainly cause trouble for] those people who are troubling you, because he [considers] that it is just that he should punish such people for doing that to you.
si es que Dios encuentra justo dar en retorno tribulación a los que os atribulan,
7 He also [considers] that it is the right thing to do to reward you who are being troubled, by (giving you relief/causing your suffering to end). He will do that for both you and us when our Lord Jesus will descend from heaven, together with his powerful angels and with blazing fire.
y a vosotros, los atribulados, descanso, juntamente con nosotros, en la revelación del Señor Jesús desde el cielo con los ángeles de su poder
8 [Then he will] punish those people who do not [want to] know him and [those] who refuse to heed the message about our Lord Jesus.
en llamas de fuego, tomando venganza en los que no conocen a Dios y en los que no obedecen al Evangelio de nuestro Señor Jesucristo;
9 [Our Lord Jesus] will forbid them from ever coming near to him and near to the glory which he has [because he is so] powerful (OR, the glory that is manifested by his power). He will cause those people to suffer forever. (aiōnios g166)
los cuales sufrirán la pena de la eterna perdición, lejos de la presencia del Señor y de la gloria de su poder, (aiōnios g166)
10 [The Lord Jesus] will do this when he comes [back from heaven] at the time [that God has decided]. As a result, all we who are his people will praise him because of [what he has done for his own] people, and all we believers will marvel at our Lord because of [what he has done. And you will be there, too], because you believed what we testified to you.
cuando Él venga en aquel día a ser glorificado en sus santos y ofrecerse a la admiración de todos los que creyeron, porque nuestro testimonio ante vosotros fue creído.
11 In order that you might [praise Jesus like this], we are also praying very frequently [HYP] for you. We pray that [you will be able to show] our God that you are worthy [to receive] that which he chose [you to receive]. We pray also that he would powerfully enable you to do good in every way that you desire, and that he would also enable you to do powerfully every [good] thing [that you do because] you believe [in Jesus Christ].
Por esto oramos sin cesar por vosotros, para que nuestro Dios os haga dignos de vuestra vocación y cumpla poderosamente todos ( sus ) propósitos de bondad y toda obra de (vuestra ) fe,
12 [We pray this because we want] you to praise our Lord Jesus, and we want him to honor you. This will happen because God, whom we [worship/serve], and our Lord Jesus Christ will keep acting kindly [toward you] in ways that you do not deserve.
para que sea glorificado el nombre de nuestro Señor Jesús en vosotros, y vosotros en Él, por la gracia de nuestro Dios y del Señor Jesucristo.
